Workbook PART II

L e s s o n 290

My present happiness is all I see.

It is all there really is or could be. For happiness is all that comes from God. His Reality is all that could be actuality.

1 Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. Eyes have been clouded by such lengthy insistence on dreaming. Eyes that begin to open see at last. Would You not will to see after such long blindness? For You have so long gravely limited Your senses. Why not a little curiosity? You need simply ask for the Gift of Sight. As You are sincere, it will be given And I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day. For I am sick and tired from illusions. Because they don’t touch on Love at all, only self-serving. What I perceive without God’s own correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. If You would suffer, watch the daily news. Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. It’s just that simple. This the day I seek my present happiness and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.

Brother! How do I do this” Please help Me!

Just by asking have You made the connection. Now never let it go by doing things alone again. It’s very simple.

2 With this resolve, I come to You and ask Your strength to hold me up today while I but do Your Will. That is the key, both to happiness and to Awakening. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. He is speaking now as well as always! You can learn to hear. What I ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I will see my happiness today. For I am more than a little willing! My willingness is but My Gift to You, dear holy Father, dear loving Mother.

What is the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is pure, perfect, holy. All the things You think You couldn’t be; yet You really are!
That’s Holy Spirit!

1The Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the truth. It is a place the mind’s mis-sense as ego can go before it recalls that it really is Divine. As He must bridge the gap between reality and dreams, perception leads to knowledge through the grace that God has given Him, – unlike yields to like – to be His gift to everyone who turns to Him for truth. The Holy Truth of what S/He really is. Across the bridge that He provides – a kindly non-judgmental state of mind (which All should adopt!)– are dreams all carried to the truth, – ever so gently – to be dispelled before the light of knowledge. Gently disappearing in the Light of Truth, and transforming to Reality, and Awakening in gentle wonder as the Son of God We have always been. There are sights and sounds forever laid aside. And where they were perceived before, forgiveness has made possible perception’s tranquil end. Nothing has been lost; all Good is still here.

Nightmares are over; Heaven no longer pushed up in the sky, but ever-present.

2 The goal the Holy Spirit’s teaching sets is just this end of dreams. For sights and sounds must be translated from the witnesses of fear to those of love. What was an experience of hell is transformed by Heaven And when this is entirely accomplished, learning has achieved the only goal it has in truth: God’s Reality. For learning, as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He perceives for it, becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be replaced by the Eternal Truth. The Holy Spirit’s teaching is but total transformation: hell into Heaven. From fear, and doubt, and misery, into happiness and peace.

3 If you but knew how much your Father yearns to have you recognize your sinlessness, – how He longs for You to once again remember His beneficent Reality; and if You did – you would not let His Voice appeal in vain nor turn away from His replacement for the fearful images and dreams you made. You are not what You think You are, but Something so much better! The Holy Spirit understands the means you made, by which you would attain what is forever unattainable. For the Holy Spirit is the bridge from hell to Heaven. This cannot be said too often as You learn to go to Him for every need You have. And if you offer them to Him, He will employ the means you made for exile to restore your mind to where it truly is at home. And see hellish fears gently yield to Heaven’s transformation.

4 From knowledge, – which is all things Real – where He has been placed by God, the Holy Spirit calls to you to let forgiveness rest upon your dreams and be restored to sanity and peace of mind. The unforgiving heart is absent Love. And where there is no Love, then there is fear. Without forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify you. And the memory of all your Father’s Love will not return to signify the end of dreams has come.

Hard-heartedness is such a block to Love that becomes impenetrable until Love does dissolve it.

5 Accept your Father’s gift. For It is priceless, the bridge that does return You to Love is called: Holy Spirit. It is a call from Love to Love that it be but itself. Love is a bridge that can breach all barricades, melting them away, when It is gladly, freely given. The Holy Spirit is His gift by Which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God’s beloved Son. Do You begin to see just how Loved by God You really are? Would you refuse to take the function of completing God when all He wills is that you be complete? Nowwould You not gladly accept His Love? For It is far, far lovelier than all things found in the world.

Feel His gentle Love calling You to come Home through the path of Love and forgiveness.
The Bridge of Holy Spirit patiently awaits You Presence.
